Howdy!
I must first say that I'm fairly delighted to find that there's a forum dedicated to the 1971 to 1973 Ford Mustang. While I'm a bit of a Camaro guy myself, I have always loved Mustangs, as well. As with the Camaro, I appreciate about any iteration of the Mustang, though my favorites are the early ones. It may be due to the gradual influence of my best friend, Tom, but I do think the '71 to '73 are my absolute favorites. Before we got old, married, etc, my friend Tom and I used to share a house. The house had a two car garage. Our daily drivers lived out on the driveway, in the rain, because the garage was fully occupied by my 1968 Camaro, and by Tom's 1972 Mustang Grande. Those cars are long gone, but Tom is still my best friend. We've been reminiscing over the past few months, about those cars, and we've decided we need to jump back into it again. We're on the lookout for just the right 1971-73 Mustang Coupe or Grande, as a starting point for a tasty, resto-mod, pro-touring type build. For now, I'm sure that I will primarily lurk here, and learn as much as I can, until we pull the trigger on a car. Then, we'll chronicle the progress on our project here.
Thanks to the admins, and to the general membership, for creating such an oasis on the internet!
